Mets comeback falls short

Trailing by five runs, the New York Mets (41-31) scored three runs in the sixth inning, another in the seventh, but the comeback fell short, losing 6-5 to the Detroit Tigers. The loss drops the Mets one-half game behind the Atlanta Braves in the National League East.

The Mets are now 26-11 at home and 11-4 in interleague play. They open their final interleague series Friday night at Citi Field against the Minnesota Twins.
